Hale Cooler Tube

Description

A Hale pump cooler tube is a component of a Hale fire pump that helps to keep the gearbox cool. It is a long, thin tube that is made of metal and has fins on the outside. The fins help to increase the surface area of the tube, which allows it to transfer heat more efficiently to the surrounding air.

The cooler tube is connected to the gearbox at one end and to the pump housing at the other end. The gearbox is filled with oil, and the oil is circulated through the cooler tube by a pump. As the oil circulates through the tube, it picks up heat from the gearbox. The heat is then transferred to the fins on the tube, and from there it is radiated to the surrounding air.

The cooler tube is an important part of the Hale fire pump because it helps to prevent the gearbox from overheating. If the gearbox gets too hot, it can seize up, which can damage the pump and render it inoperable.
